SARA Cox is helping to raise money for Comic Relief.

Her sports news reader from her popular Radio One Breakfast Show, Mark Chapman, is touring the country's Football League grounds to collect signed merchandise to auction for the charity.

He is setting off on March 7 at 5pm and aims to be back at the same time on March 14, Red Nose Day, providing reports for Bolton DJ Cox along the way.

Sara said: "Not only will it raise money for an excellent charity, but it will also get Chappers out from under my feet.

"I believe that he will complete the challenge - as long as the lure of the minibar at various budget hotels around the country isn't too great!"
